For this case the first thing you should know is the following unit conversion. 1 BTU = 0.25 Kilocalories We then have the following numerical value: [tex]8.0 * 10 ^ 4 \frac{BTU}{h} [/tex] Applying the conversion of units we have: [tex]8.0 * 10 ^ 4 \frac{BTU}{h} * 0.25 \frac{Kcal}{BTU} [/tex] Canceling units we have: [tex]20000 \frac{Kcal}{h} [/tex] Answer: This is 20000 kilocalories per hour [tex]20000 \frac{Kcal}{h} [/tex]
